You will notice that there is the lurker, David Weinstein, putting in a Hitchcock like cameo appearance in the background. Also, note that Gerry Roper says he is president of the Chicagoland Chamber and the CEC. Gee, I thought Weinstein was president of the CEC. Oh, well. But note that David definitely walks around like he owns the place.
Lundin, the maker of the video, got there early and left by 6:30pm when I was arriving. That explains the relatively few people. Also, the pics come out weird in terms of lighting.
crowdSPRING just re-did the entire back end of their website and has launched it. They used Python and Django. They have had their noses to the grindstone and have not been hobnobbing at many events lately.
This is interesting -- at least it is something I did not know -- Adrian Holovaty is the man behind Django which he developed in a previous job.
crowdSPRING has been working for the last three days to get the bugs out and plan a little breather at the end of the year.
http://uswaretech.com/blog/2008/06/an-interview-with-adrian-holovaty/
http://www.holovaty.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Holovaty
http://www.flipkart.com/definitive-guide-django-adrian-holovaty/1590597257-4sx3f9p42m
It is called Django because Adrian is a talented guitarist and that is the style he likes. Mike Samson told me about this and it was backed up by Jason Rexilius. Samson said we should Google Adrian on You Tube.
Jason Rexilius is planning to tie the knot with his girlfriend Michelle in Hawaii next summer. He is currently kicking around in Kentucky.
As Jason explained to me, Everyblock is great, but Adrian made his reputation with Django and there are strong parallels between Django on Python and Ruby on Rails with Fried and DHH.
Jason did not hesitate to note that many developers reside in our fair city.
I have been going over my tapes from almost every event. I am pretty much through with the CEC, Tech The Halls and MIT-EF.
But I have to get to dialysis. They switched the schedule for this week and next and I am expected there in a few minutes.
And to JKat, Mike Maginity, Harvey Daniels, Tarkus, and all correspondents, hold on to your pants. I have more than 40 pieces of mail to get out.
Here is just one example of the mail that has been piling up.

Subject: Most Popular Material 2009 - Inventables (Preview)
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:07:36 +0000
To: ron@themayreport.com
Ron,
In your 2009 roundup for The May Report please include Inventables most
popular material of the year awarded to Temperature Sensitive Glass.
The glass is on display starting 12-17-09 at the Museum of Science and
Industry in Chicago.
The full press release is below and here:
http://www.inventablescorporate.com/articles/press-releases/12142009/
Details about the material:
https://www.inventables.com/technologies/temperature-sensitive-glass-tiles
Inventables Most Popular Material 2009:
Temperature-Sensitive Glass Tile
Award winner to be showcased at Museum of Science and Industry
Chicago, IL - This year designers and engineers looked at the product
pages on Inventables.com nearly one million times in the hopes of
finding the right ones for their projects. We are proud to announce
with over 167,000 pageviews the most popular material for 2009 was
temperature-sensitive glass from Moving Color. These textured glass
tiles alter in color with changes in temperature. They are currently
offered in a range of colors and sensitivities, the tiles change color
based on ambient temperature, body temperature or water temperature -
whatever they're touching. The glass is available in a variety of
temperature ranges, allowing customization to specific applications.
The maximum temperature range for their "Liquid" line is -30°C (-22°F)
to 120°C (248°F). Color change will begin at selected activation
temperature, and continue through three phases within a 6-10° rise in
temperature. Once past the peak in temperature, the base color will
then return and remain unvarying until the temperature drops.
To date the glass has been used in a few showers. One installed in the
Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the Disneyland Hotel. When Disney's guests
take a shower, the warm water hits the glass, causing the tiles to
bloom into color. As the glass tiles change color, silhouettes of
Mickey Mouse appear around the perimeter of the shower.formed into
custom pieces and used as tiles in buildings. A second was installed
in the house the Buffalo Bills cornerback Terrance McGee's new home.
"Moving Color is the innovator of energy efficient, temperature
sensitive, color changing materials with over 10 years of research and
development. Our glass is the perfect marriage between Art, Science,
Technology and Design. We are very excited about the popularity of our
material amongst the Inventables community", said Ben Bellmer founder
Moving Color.
The applications for this material go well beyond decorative showers.
Global architectural firm, HOK, is working on a roof tile concept with
Moving Color to use the temperature sensitive glass tiles on a roof.
The concept is explored here in their study into skyscraper design.
The video illustrates how thermochromatic tiles change color with the
ambient temperature. In cold weather the building tiles turns black
and absorb heat. In hot weather the building tiles turn white
reflecting heat and thereby cooling the building.
Congratulations to Moving Color for winning the Inventables Most
Popular Material of the Year.

May again. So here is my game plan. Go to dialysis now at 5:30am Monday, come home, go to the FCC hearing at the Gleacher Center at 1:30pm, come home at 3:30pm, work on getting the next report out, hopefully have the next report out by 5am Tuesday followed by two more reports Tuesday and that may be it for anything before Christmas. ]

*******WIRTH BUSINESS CREDIT - ACQUIRE EQUIPMENT - SAVE ON TAXES*******
Section 179 of the IRS tax law allows for accelerated depreciation on up to $250,000 of equipment for small businesses. In most instances, this applies to financed equipment, as long as the equipment is put into use before the end of the year. That means that you can lease up to $250,000 worth of equipment and immediately take up to a $250,000 tax deduction for 2009. Check with your tax advisor and if you qualify, call us to finance the equipment you need today!
WIRTH Business Credit ( www.wirthchicago.com ) is a local equipment financing company available to help you finance IT, computers, phone systems, networking equipment, office equipment, furniture, retail fixtures, point of sale systems and other business critical equipment. WIRTH is backed by a public company and provides leases for transactions as small as $5,000. Although the credit market is tight, we are still working with startups and less than perfect credit. We are direct lenders (not brokers) and we never sell our leases, so you will always deal with us and not pay any fees to middlemen.
